VB IDE 2003: Setup Project Stops compiling with Message "Error: The operation could not be

I am using Visual Studio .Net 2003 IDE.

I have build an application in VB.Net and am creating a setup project for this. After adding all the files and output of the VB project, I tried compiling the project. The setup project doesn't compile. The message in the output window is:

Performing main compilation...

Building satellite assemblies...

Error: The operation could not be completed

Does anyone have any idea about this issue and any possible solution...

Regards,

Hi,

Try excluding some of the files and isolate what is causing the issue. Check if any of the files are read-only. Sometimes that causes issues with Build.

Hi,
Thank you for the reply. I checked and found that all the files and folders are writable.
One by one, I removed the files but still got the same error. I even tried to compile empty setup project and still got the same error message.
Any clues...

There have been some issues in this area with the VS 2003 product. Try to do a "repair" of your VS installation from the Add/Remove Programs applet. This will often straighten the issue out. Let me know if that doesn't help.
